Instructions

Roast Sweet Potatoes & Garlic:
Pierce sweet potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 50–55 minutes.
Wrap the garlic bulb (top trimmed) in parchment with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the oven for the last 15–20 minutes of baking.

Cook Broccolini & Beans:
In a large skillet, sauté broccolini with olive oil until slightly charred. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for 3–4 minutes.
Stir in cannellini beans and all seasonings. Cook another 3–4 minutes until heated through.

Prepare Sweet & Savory Pecans:
Toast pecans in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes. Add olive oil, maple syrup, garlic chili paste, and rice vinegar. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes, until glazed.

Make the Whipped Sweet Potatoes:
Remove skins from roasted sweet potatoes. Mash together with roasted garlic, tahini, maple syrup, miso paste, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
(Use a blender or hand mixer for extra smooth texture.)

Assemble the Bowl:
Layer whipped sweet potatoes as the base. Top with broccolini and bean mixture. Finish with sweet and savory pecans. Serve warm.

Notes

For a quicker method, cube and boil sweet potatoes until tender.

A food processor or blender yields a silky-smooth mash.

Delicious for both dinner and savory breakfast bowls.
